• Kintetsu Nara Line: Nukata ⇄ Hyōtan-yama (Osaka)

Hiraoka Station opened on 30 April 1914 as part of Osaka Electric Tramway's inaugural Uehommachi (now Ōsaka-Uehommachi) - Nara (now Kintetsu-Nara) line, sited in Higashiōsaka, Osaka Prefecture. The station passed to Kansai Kyūkō Railway in 1941 and to Kintetsu Railway in 1944. Platforms were lengthened in March 1992 to accept six-car formations, the station was added to the new ku-kan-junkyū (sectional semi-express) stop list on 21 March 2006, PiTaPa service began on 1 April 2007, and the station was fully unstaffed from 10 November 2024. Two opposed side platforms remain physically separated, so passengers wishing to change direction must exit and re-enter via an underpass.

The station name comes from the adjacent Hiraoka Shrine, not from the former Hiraoka City — the surrounding area was not the historic city centre, and despite the lingering name the city itself was abolished by merger in 1967.
